Performance Highlights for Model Builders

Tips for Airbrushing and Thinning

When using an airbrush, thin XF-16 with Tamiya thinners such as 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520 or 87077 to achieve the correct spraying consistency. Proper preparation reduces clogging and improves finish evenness.

Is XF-16 suitable for flexible plastics?

No, XF-16 is not formulated for flexible plastics. It is best used on rigid model materials like styrol resins and wood.

Can I mix XF-16 with other Tamiya acrylics?

Yes, XF-16 mixes with compatible Tamiya acrylics for custom tones, but test small amounts first to check drying and finish compatibility.

How do I store leftover paint?

Keep bottles tightly sealed and stored upright in a cool, dry spot. Stir well before use and label mixes to avoid confusion.
